Doctor And Patient

A symposium of replies to a questionnaire sent out to doctors by the
American Foundation on the availability of adequate medical care for the
populace generally, probably affords a key to the reason for the growing
public demand for systems of state medicine or state health insurance.

The replies indicate that, in a broad sense, adequate medical care, no
matter how conservatively the phrase is interpreted, is not generally avail-
able and certainly not as available as it should be, and for a number of
reasons.

While the information and opinion secured is, of course, applicable to
conditions in the United States, there is little doubt that it is equally
applicable in Canada, and in some respects more particularly in Western
Canada, where similar social and economic conditions exist to those on the
other side of the international boundary

That the problem of providing adequate medical care for the people
is bounded by social and economic conditions is specifically revealed in the
numerous replies received and it js because of this fact that public demand
for state medicine is becoming such a prominent issue nowadays.

Quoting the Foundation’s own summarization of the replies to the
question: “Is adequate medical care now readily available?” the Foundation
points ot that many agree there is no categorical answer to such a ques-
tion because of disagreement as to its meaning, “but, if medical care is
interpreted to mean the kind of care needed to enable citizens'to maintain
‘positive’ health, preventing incipient illness from progressing to serious con-
sequences, as well as doing all that can be done to restore the sick individ-
ual to health, the weight of opinion s certainly that adequate medical care
is not available.

“Even if adequate medical care is less ahbitsousty defined,” to further
quote the Foundation’s summary as reported in the current issue of the
“Canadian Doctor’, “this section contains a good deal of evidence in the
form not of statistics but of direct picture (by men on the scene) to justify
the premise that a large part of the population does not receive adequate
medical care.

“(a) because it costs too much, especially hospital service and the
laboratory aids to diagnosis;

“(b) because it is too far away, as in the vast agricultural areas far
removed from medical centres and without either hospitals or practitioners;

“(c) because the public generally does not understand and is not ask-
ing for modern scientific medical care, much of the population definitely
preferring quacks, cultists and patent medicines, and, finally and most
important;

““(d) because in the medical care of the present ‘the best is not yet good
enough’, to cite many spokesmen,

“The reasons why medical care is not yet good enough are many, but
these are the reasons most frequently brought forward by the. physicians:

“(a) There is a lag of years in applying new medical knowledge;

“(b) present medical training is not yet apenas good;

“(c) present licensing is too broad;

“(d) too many graduates do not or cannot eae up their competence;

“(e) medical imagination still does not sufficiently perceive that pre-
vention rather than cure is the real and ultimate goal of medical science,
as many competent leaders of medical science in this discussion declare
it to. he,”

In view of the fact that the foregoing conclusions represent the con-
sensus of opinion of apparently a ‘substantial cross section of the medical
profession, considerable weight must be given to the information, but it
should be pointed out that it does not necessarily coincide with the lay

viewpoint in its entirety.

When for instance the medical men declare that a large percentage of
the population does not receive adequate medical care “because the public
generally does not understand and is not asking for modern scientfic medi-

cal care,” they are making a statement which is open to debate,

It could very well be argued that a substantial percentage of the pub-
‘lie does not understand modern medical science, not because of any lack
of desire to do so, but because there are yet too many doctors who adhere
to the old fashioned doctrine that the less the patient is told the better and
it is not surprising if, under such circumstances, patients fall back on the

too voluble quack for remedy,

In the minds of the public the practice of medicine is often too much
shrouded in mystery which might be dispelled if more doctors took the
patient into their confidence when making a diagnosis and wrote their pre-

scriptions in a form which could be understood by a laymen.

After all no person has a greater right to know what is wrong with
him or her, to know what the doctor believes to be the cause of the ailment
and the remedy that is being prescribed than the patient who is paying or

“owing” for the service.

Sometimes a little more explanation of causes, conditions and treat-
ment would create a greater public confidence which would yield dividends

to the “regular” medical profession.

Roads Of The World
Ford Has On Exhibit Materials
From 18 Famous Highways

In the grounds of the Ford Ro-
tunda at Dearborn, Michigan, the
“Roads of the World,” comprising
materials from eighteen famous
highways, has been opened to the
public. The materials consist of
stones, slabs and soil.

The dedication of the “roads” was
witnessed by consular officers of
countries represented in the roads,
also many good roads officials.

Among the representations are the
Appian Way, the famous Roman
highway; the “Summer Pa!ace’’ Road
over which the Manchu emperors
rolled from the old capital in what
is to-day modern Peiping to the royal
Summer Palace; the ancient Grand
Trunk Road of India, whose north-
ern reaches led through the fabled
Khyber Pass, and the Diamond Rush
Road of South Africa, over which
Cecil Rhodes transported fortunes in
diamonds from the De Beers mines
to Port Elizabeth.

Naval Treaty Ratified

Provisions Of 1936 London Agree-
ment Have Become Effective

Provisions of the 1936 London
naval treaty became effective with
the ratification by the United King-
dom, Canada, Australia, New Zea-
land and India.

Instruments of ratification were
deposited at the foreign office. Sir
Robert Van Stittart, permanent un-
der-secretary for foreign affairs,
signed for the United Kingdom; Sir
Findlater Stewart, permanent under-
secretary for India, for India; High
Commissioner Vincent Massey for
Canada; High Commissioner Stanley
Bruce for Australia; and High Com-
missioner W. J. Jordan for New Zea-
land.

The United States deposited rati-
fication a year ago and France a few
weeks ago. The treaty limits the size
and armament but not the number of
naval vessels and provides for an in-
terchange of information regarding
projected naval construction.

Looks Like A Record

Remarkable Facts About Family Of
97-Year-Old Woman

Mrs. Anna. Pond, of Waterford,
Ont., is 97 years of age. She reads a
good deal, and prefers newspapers
because they come fresh each day.
Mrs. Pond has no time for worrying
and cannot be convinced that it ever
did any good anyway. If the weather
is favorable this lady of 97 goes to
church on Sunday and she also likes
to attend Sunday school. What’s
more she walks. Both ways.

All of which is interesting but not
so remarkable as other facts regard-
ing her family. Mrs, Pond is the.
mother of 11 children and they are
all livirig, and she herself.is the eld-
est of a family of four and her two
sisters and brother are also living,
their ages being 89, 82 and 86.

We cannot recall having read or
heard of another case like that. A
woman of 97, with 11 children living,
and with all her own generation still
here.—Peterboro Examiner,

Traffic Control For ’Planes

Vancouver Airport Has Installed
Traffic Control Projector

Among recent additions to the
Vancouver airport is an airport
traffic control projector, one of the
latest safety devices put on the
market. Familiarly termed “traffic
guns,” lights of this type are used
at all the leading United States air-
ports for day and night control of
aircraft not equipped with radio.

Although fitted with only a 50
candlepower lamp, the light is visible
in bright sunlight for over three
miles. The light is sighted like a
gun and can also. be used for code
signalling with white, red or green
light, as a spotlight, and for making
estimates of the cloud ceiling at
night.

This “projector” is believed to be
the first of its kind used in Canada
and became necessary through the
steady increase of traffic at the air-
port.—Canadian Aviation.

Fleet Air Arn
Now To Be Under Control Of The
British Admiralty

Prime Minister Chamberlain an-
nounced in the House of Commons
that the fleet air arm—Great Britain's
naval air force—henceforth will be
under the “administrative control of
the Admiralty.”

Heretofore "planes attached to the
fleet have been under dual control.
When at sea they have been subject
to the orders of the naval authorities.
On land and in training establish-
ments the Air Ministry has exercised
jurisdiction.

Anomalous position of the fleet air
arm for long has been the subject of
controversy, and partisans of the
navy have waged a strenuous cam-
paign to obtain full control for the
Admiralty.

The Prime Minister declared the
decision did not reflect on the present
condition of the fleet air arm but had
been reached because the Govern-
‘ment believed the lines laid down in
the announcement would be the most
satisfactory arrangement for the
future.

A leader im the navy’s fight for
full control by the Admiralty of the
fleet,air arm has been Admiral of the
Fleet Sir Robert Keyes, M.P. In a
recent speech -he declared:

“There is nothing more important
than for the navy to be equipped
with an air force second to none. I,
and others, are fighting very hard
to get the navy given absolute free-
dom to develop its air force in the
way it thinks necessary.

“The present system is absolutely
illogical. If our fleet should meet
one with better air force equipment,
that probably would decide the issue
of the battle. Yet the navy to-day
has no controk over its air force un-
til it is actually embarked.”

ranging from pale purple through

A little story of church.attendance
—or the contrary. A clergyman on
holiday down in.the west of Eng-
land went into a village barber's for
a haircut, and during the operation
the turn of the conversation led him
to ask the barber whether he be-
longed to church or chapel.

“Well, sir,” was the reply, “I can’t

ly say as I go to either, but it’s
chureh I stops away from.”

The government's plans, which are

It has its disconcerting aspects to
those appalled. by nearly 40,000
fatalities yearly in motor accidents.
Yet Mr. Kettering was convincing in
his argument that cities, and sub-
urbs of the future will solve high-
way safety problems that now per-
plex us. He does not, however, at-
tempt to guess how airplanes will
affect, the solution.

He said that by 1960, roads must
be provided for 50 per cent. more
vehicles than now are registered. In
the decade preceding 1929 the num-
ber of motor vehicles increased 250
per cent. The population movement
appeara to be away from large cities.

Mr. Kettering holds that traffic con- —

gestion and parking problems will
quicken this movement; that “rib-
bon” cities may develop an almost
continuous urban life on both -sides
of a trunk highway; that men may
live in the country 50 miles from
their work and commute on high-
speed trunk highways; that cities of
the future may require webs of ele-
vated and underground roads to

carry the heavier traffic; that many ©

miles of highways between populous
communities will be lighted economic-
ally and-other means used to reduce
hazards of night driving.

Highways programs must be drawn
up in anticipation of a steady in-
crease tn motor bus traffic, and an
increasing use of trailers will hasten

the widening of highways and bridges -

and provision of better parking facil-
ities for family treks. . .

As fascinating as this engineer's
vision of the highways of the future
is it may depress taxpayers who con-
sider the present condition of roads

highways in the nation. State high-

VITAL
INTEREST],

ARTICLE No. 5
EARLY SIGNS OF CANCER

There is nothing so important to
the man or woman of 35 years and
over, as a knowledge of the early
signs of cancer. Such knowledge is
readily acquired by the average per-
son of intelligence. What are the
early signs of cancer?

Pain is not an early sign of cancer.
It is a great pity that all beginning
cancers had not the pain of an ach-
ing tooth. In such case the pain
would drive the person to seek ad-
vice. The early signs of cancer may
be grouped under the heads of:
lumps, bleedings, persistent sores,
hoarseness of a chronic nature, diffi-
culty in swallowing, change of regu-
lar habits in respect to digestion or
movement of the bowels.

A familiar example of a lump that
may be a cancer is one appearing in
the breast of a woman. Such a lump
should be discovered by the woman
herself when it is the size of a pea.
Often the woman does find the lump
at this stage, but- through modesty,
fear or for some reason, she says
nothing about it until the lump is as
large as a walnut or until other
lumps appear under the arm-pit.

Irregular bleedings may appear
from any of the crifices of the body.
Especially significant are bleedings
occurring -in woman a year or more
following the menopause. Persistent
sores are frequently seen on face and
hands, on the lips, on the tongue, in-
side the mouth or throat. They are
manifested in black or yellow scales
on the faces. of elderly men and
women; they occasionally appear in
the character of an over-head wound,
in what is called a keloid. Not all
of them are cancers; in some cases
they are pre-cancerous conditfons.
They are plain to be seen. All of us
who-are observant, see~these early
signs every day of our lives. Chronic
hoarseness is usually due to syphilis,
tuberculosis or cancer of the larynx.
Difficulty in swallowing frequently
means cancer of the oesophagus or
swallowing tube.

The person who previously has had
excellent digestion and begins to
have dyspepsia, or the chronic suf-
ferer from indgestion who shows a
marked change of habit in this con-
dition, may have early cancer. Simi-
larly the persons who becomes con-
stipated after a life of regular bowel
habits or who becomes the subject of
diarrhoea, may have cancer of the
bowel as a cause. All these early
signs of cancer merit and should
have the closest investigation.

cer Call for Prompt Action.”

Takes Outstanding Pictures

Kansas Girl Spends Weeks Getting
Shot Of Wild Duck

Though a hopeless shot with a gun,
and faced with conditions that would
daunt the hardiest duck hunter,
vivacious Lorene Squire, official
photographer for the American Wild
Life Institute, thinks nothing of
spending three weeks in a soggy)
marsh waiting for one good camera
“shot” of a wild duck.

Tanned to a deep bronze by a
month's outing in northern Saskat-
chewan, where she obtained many
bird life photos, Miss Squire recently
passed through Winnipeg on her way
to northern Manitoba marsh areas.

“It has always been my ambition
to come to Canada to see the ducks
in their nesting grounds. Now I
have, and have some good pictures}
of baby ducks swimming about on
the water,” Miss Squire said. |

Her career -as a photographer |
started ten years ago in Kansas
when she went duck hunting with her |
father and mother. ‘I was pretty
terrible with a gun, so I began shoot-|
ing with a camera.’ The result has|
been a series of outstanding pictures
of wild life on the wing.

‘It's hard work,” said the young
Kansan. “About only five out of a
hundred pictures are successful. I
spend days in the darkroom getting
the effect I want.” She uses a two
miniature reflex with 15 centimetre
telephoto lenses.

The young girl, a graduate of
Kansas University, came to Canada
as the result of communications with
the officers of the Alberta, Saskat-
chewan and Manitoba Game and Fish
Associations. She intended to spend
about a month in Manitoba before
travelling westward again to the
Fort Chipewayan area.

THE CANADIAN ADVENTURE
TRIP OF BOB SIM, AN

ONTARIO FARM BOY
No. 8 of a Series of 16 Letters

Has three male companions and is
travelling by car again! Experiences
a storm at Thunder Bay which ruins
their breakfast; visit Callander and
beat Daddy Dionne out of three auto-
graphs; see the mines in the North
and marvel at the activity. On, and
on, Bob and his companions go. Are
you travelling with him? Follow
these stories and see what he thinks
of our country.

North Shore of Lake Superior,
(Special Despatch by Bob Sim).—
Here we are, four automobile voy-
ageurs, perched on the edge of this
greatest of all lakes, by name Super-
ior. Last night we drove till dark
then pulled into this cove. Deep down
in a rocky gorge the dark waters of
some nameless river poured with
violence from the foot of a thirty-
foot cascade into this great blue in-
land sea. We climbed down the rocks
to the water’s edge, cooked supper
and made camp for the night. We
went to sleep in the deep woods with
a feeling of exultation, with the
sound of tumbling water in our ears.
At four in the morning we awoke al-
most in terror with the sound of a
multitude of mosquitoes in our ears.
It was a fine contrast of Beauty and
the Beast. We cooked breakfast: a
gallon of porridge, eight eggs, and
coffee, with the angry beasts about
us. Then one of those sudden violent
storms that gives Thunder Bay its
name, descended upon us, without
warning, to soak our beds and break-
fast, reminding us of Newboldt’s
lines:

“Sure if misery man could vex,
“There it beat on our bended
necks.”

The Trip So Far

from Toronto we went to King-
ston, then to Ottawa, following the
Ottawa River up to Petawawa to
strike west from there to North Bay.
This is the historic route followed by
Canadian voyageurs as they paddled
their great freight canoes, laden with
pemmican, from Montreal to the
heart of the continent. When we
reached ‘Fort William we will rejoin
the route and follow it to Winnipeg.
At Callander we visited the quintup-
lets. At Sudbury we spent some time
visiting the mines and smelters. We
saw logs turned into ngwsprint at
Sault Ste. Marie, and crossed over to
the United States which was neces-
sary as the trans-Canada Highway
is not. completed on the north shore
of Lake Superior. From Duluth we
came back to Canada striking the
trans-Canada Highway at Fort Wil-
liam and Port Arthur. Then its
westward ho, and it’s to the mighty
west we're bound.

A Glimpse At Quintland

Callander three years ago slept on
the east shore of Lake Nipissing. A
sawmill, a station, a filling station, a
church or two, and a quiet, efficient
little country doctor, Then the quin-
tuplets came and this little grey
headed doctor saved their lives. To-
day Callander, home of the world’s
most famous babies, is tthe world’s
most famous village: It has several
filling stations with special rates for
five gallons of gasoline, a thriving
hotel, and a number of tourist homes.
Visitors have their pictures taken in
front of the white picket fence of
the babies’ doctor. A few miles east |
of Callander there lived a French
community, on poor sour land with
gaunt, miserable buildings. To-day
a broad highway runs to the door
step of the Dionne home around
which has grown a very healthy
mushroom, This mushroom includes
the Dafoe hospital,..with a special
gallery where visitors may see the
babies but not be seen. A five-acre
field provides parking space; a boy
sells lucky pebbles from the Dionne
farm, another lad collects ‘twenty-
five cents from those vPno want their
pictures taken in his ox cart; Daddy
Dionne has a store, forty by fifty in
size, and busy as a land office. Daddy
himself, once a French-Canadian
farmer two jumps ahead of the wolf,
sits in a curtained room and collects
twenty-five cents for his autograph.
We fooled -him by using carbon
paper in our album, getting four
signatures for the price of one,
Daddy is as well groomed and tailor-
ed as a Montreal financier and ap-
pears to have no worries. His farm
grows mustard and weak hay. He
now cultivates a more productive
soil—-human __ gullibility. Barnum
said: “One is born every minute”,
and he was right, for they seemed to
be all at Callander.

What about the babies, you say?
Well, I am but a mere man, They
were just five healthy, energetic,
beautiful little girls, all identical, all
charming, all very wealthy. Do you
know a fairy story more preposter-
ous, more grotesque, more absorbing,
than the story of these five little
French-Canadian ladies who stole the
heart of the world?

Im glad I went.

The North Land

The North of Ontario is so vast
that in comparison the South shrinks
to a cluster of villages. Railroad
and highway cut across it here and
there like strokes of a knife on an
immense batter. There is a mark
here and there, a slight dent on a
vast stretch of rock and forest: It is
also a rich land. Bare little villages
grow up ‘here and there as men go

about the business of cutting timber
and extracting metal from the hills,
The village may die, sinking back in-
to the solitude of the North. It may

w into a great ugly growing town
ike Sudbury.

At Sudbury, we visited the mines,
and the smelting plant. We did not
go underground but we saw the
smelting operations. Nickel, very
much in demand to-day, is the chief
product of the mines. Wages are
high, men are being hired every day,
money is plentiful. Yet it looks like
a slum, compared to Annapolis Royal
in Nova Scotia. In an area of about
twenty acres five thousand people
are crowded, often a whole family
crowded into one room. Children
play in the street, the library would
be small for a village. But it is grow-

‘ing at the rate of three thousand a

year, and houses are as scarce as
trees in China. Some day it will
mature, acquiring libraries and play-
grounds; to-day it is a real mining
town.
On To Winnipeg

At Winnipeg we will get our first
mail since leaving home. We will get
our shirts washed, have a bath, sleep
in a clean bed, then strike west.

On and on our auto goes,

And where we'll land nobody

knows.

GOD GIVES LAWS TO A NATION

Lesson: Exodus 19:1—20:21.

Devotional reading: Psalm 19:7-14,

Explanations And Comments

The Preface to the Commandments,
Exodus 20:1, 2. God spake all these
words, saying. We call “these words”
The Ten Commandments, or Deca-
logue (from the two Greek words
“deka’, ten, and “logos’, word). The
Israelites had already attained to a
knowledge of these religious and
moral principles—they knew that
they should not worship idols and
should not kill—but here at Sinai
they learned that these principles
were from God.

Exodus 20:1. And God’ spake all
these words, saying,

2I am Jehovah thy God, who
brought thee out of the land of
Egypt, out”of the house of bondafe.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods
before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee a
graven imuge, nor any. likeness of
any thing that is in heaven above, or
that is in the earth beneath, or that
is in the water under the earth: 5
thou shalt not bow down’ thyself un-
to them, nor serve them; for I Je-
hovah thy God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children, upon the third and
fourth generation of them that hate
me, 6 and showing lovingkindness un-
to thousands of them that love me
and keep my commandments.

7 Thou shalt not take the name of
Jehovah thy God in vain; for Je-
hovah will not hold him guiltless
that taketh his name in vain.

8 Remember the sabbath day, to
keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou
labor, and do all thy work; 10 but
the seventh day is a sabbath unto
Jehovah thy God; in it thou sha't not
do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor
thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor
thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor
thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11. for in six days Jehovah made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that in them is, and rested the
seventh day: wherefore Jehovah
blessed the sabbath day, and hal-
lowed it.

12 Honor thy father and _ thy
mother, that thy days may be long
in the land which Jehovah thy God
giveth thee.

13 Thou shalt not kill.

14 Thou shalt not commit adultry.

15 Thou shalt not steal,

16 Thou shalt not bear false wit-
ness against thy neighbor.

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neigh-
bor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy
neighbor’s wife, nor his man-servant,
nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor
his ass, nor anything that is thy
neighbor’s.

Some Compensation

Archbishop Of Canterbury Receivea
Kind Letter From Old Lady

An explanation for the popular
conception he had “fumbled” the
crown during the coronation cere-
mony was made by the Archbishop
of Canterbury at a banquet of the
Society of Knights Bachelor.

The Archbishop declared: “I could
make a most sincere apology for that
performance, but it brought some
compensation in the form of a letter
from an old lady who said, ‘the most
beautiful thing in the coronation was
to see the dear Archbishop blessing
the four corners of the crown before
he put it on the King’s head.”

WOULD UTILIZE
BANKING SYSTEM
FOR SOCIAL CREDIT

Edmonton, Alta.—The Aberhart
government laid legislation before
the Alberta house designed to utilize
the existing banking system to pro-
vide Social Credit.

The first step, revealed by Provin-
cial Treasurer Solon Low as he in-
troduced two bills, will be to license
all bankers in Alberta. A deadline
of two weeks from assent to the leg-
islation will be set for obtaining such
licenses.

Another bill, also sponsored by ‘the
provincial treasurer, was designed to
close the courts of Alberta to all
bankers who refused to take out lic-
enses in the province. It stipulated
that any unlicensed banker should
not “be capable of bringing, main-
taining or defending any action in
any court of civil jurisdiction in the
province which has for its object the
enforcement of any claim either in
law or equity.” :

Then, starting with the Social
Credit government’s own two per
cent. sales tax, taxation in Alberta
will be abolished and the govern-
ment’s revenues replaced by contri-
butions of ‘credit from the banks.
That is the gist of Mr. Low’s re-
marks to the house, when he an-
nounced the sales tax would end
September 1.

Significant phrase from a written
statement read by Mr. Low was:
“whether .the banks furnish the
money willingly or otherwise, it will
cost them nothing.”

Mr. Low said his proposals were
based on “the technique of Douglas
social dynamics.” Tax remission was
the first step to the issue of a
dividend, ‘A tax is a dividend in re-
verse.”

Premier Aberhart also made a
statement, saying: “The govern-
ment’s legislation will in no way rob
the banks of anything whatever, nor
can it possibly interfere with the way
in which they order their business.”
There should be no anxiety on the
part of any one, he said, ‘our whole
purpose is to arrange that, if the
people desire things which they can
produce, or obtain by exchange, then
they shall be able to secure and en-
joy them.”

The first bill introduced by Mr.
Low, entitled “an act to provide for
the regulation of the monetization of
the credit of the province of Al-
berta,” provides mainly for control
of bankers by licensing. It is bill
No. 6 of the special session now sit-
ting. It does not indicate that the
purpose of controlling bankers is to
force them to supply credit on the
demand of the government, or its
agency the Social Credit board. That
purpose was revealed only in Mr.
Low’s remarks announcing the pro-
gressive abolition of taxation.

Bill No, 6 outlines an arrangement
for establishing a local directorate of
five members over every operating
bank branch in Alberta. The effect
of this would be to sever banks oper-
ating in the province from head
office policy.

The limitations of the British
North America Act, which vested
jurisdiction over banks with the fed-
eral parliament, is presumably over-
come by the new Social Credit legis-
lation by directing control at “bank-
ers,” rather than “banks.” Through-
out, bill No. 6 uses the term “bank-
ers,”’ though it is defined as meaning
either a person or corporation,

with a broken back and leg injuriés,
was expected to recover, although his
condition was described as “serious”
at Princeton hospital.

Three others had leg fractures
while the rest were less seriously
hurt.

Archie McLean of Anyox, who suf-
fered a compound fracture of the left
leg, described the accident as “an
awful mess.”

It was 10 minutes after the cage
fell before the rescue squad, headed
by Tom Waterland, mine safety en-
gineer, extricated them, McLean said.

A. 8. Baillie, vice-president and
general manager of the Granby Con-
solidated Mining and Smelting Com-
pany, operators of the mine, said he
understood a crystallized bolt caused
the accident.

The mine, with a capacity produc-
tion of 3,000 tons daily, had been re-
opened last June 1 after lying idle
for seven years.

J. Biggs, British Columbia resident
mine inspector, said preliminary in-
vestigation showed the cage dropped
“about 400 feet’ in the 800-foot
shaft.

He attributed the fall to a broken
bolt in the hoist-house.

“The cable didn’t break,” he said.
“The cable remained attached to the
cage but the braces failed to hold.”

This, he said, broke the force of
the fall,

Biggs said the machinery in the
hoist shaft was “in first class con-
dition.”

Ruthless Warfare

American Writer Gives Some Side-
lights On Chinese Situation

Peiping.—An American writer and
his wife reached Peiping from a
Buddhist temple refuge with a story
of ruthless warfare.

Mr. and Mrs. Gene Lamb, of Wash-
ington, had been isolated in the
temple, northwest of Peiping, since

‘the outbreak of Chinese-Japanese

hostilities in the area.
‘ Lamb said: ‘

“A Japanese motorized brigade
came in from Manchoukuo. They
had hundreds of tanks. They went
through the Chinese troops like a
scythe through wheat.

“We saw them bombard Hsiyuan,

but they didn’t stop with that. Their
aeroplanes zoomed over, spitting
machine-gun bullets at helpless Chin-
ese there and in nearby villages.
. “Saturday, Japanese troops invad-
ed my compound. The American flag
was flying over it, but they paid no
attention to that.

“They took our food and anything
they thought might be valuable, in-
cluding $300 mex.”

Vancouver Airport

Federal Grant To Be Increased This
Year To $70,000
Vancouver.—Alderman H. D. Wil-
son said he had been assured by
Dominion Transport Minister C. D.
Howe that the federal grant to Van-
couver for improvement of airport
facilities would be increased this
year from $50,000 to $70,000.
Alderman Wilson also said he had
been informed by the minister the
city would receive another $50,000
next year, and $40,000 in 1939. .
(This total of $160,000 is the full
amount of Vancouver’s request for
federal assistance in improving air-
port facilities. Vancouver is western

terminus of Trans-Canada Air
Lines.)

To Stop Court Tests

Bill Is Introduced In Alberta Legis-
lature

Edmonton.—An attempt to stop
court tests of Alberta legislation
was made when Attorney-General
John Hugill introduced a bill in th
provincial legislature. :

The bill, one of the most far-reach-
ing in Canadian history, would re-
quire the permission of the Alberta
government if the constitutionality of
any law was attacked in a court. It
applies, of course, only to the courts
of Alberta and woyld not stop a test
case in the siajetoney colar’ of Can-
ada,

Direct appeals can be made to the
supreme court by leave of the éourt.
This is one of its functions specified
in statutes. The federal government
often refers constitutional questions
direct without having the case heard
in a lower court.

Western Crop Report | QUEBEC LABOR —

Harvesting Becoming General In
Prairie Provinces

Ottawa. — Crops are maturing
rapidly over the prairies and with
harvesting already started the 1937
season will probably equal the record
for earliness established a year ago,
said a crop report issued by the Do-
minion bureau of statistics.

No material change is apparent in
the general situation from last week,
the report stated.

Heavy rains have caused consider-
able lodging of grain in southern
Manitoba. Except for late fields,
rust will not seriously affect the
wheat crop in that province since the
infection developed too late to cause
much damage.

“The outturn for the province is
expected to be above average,” the
report said.

Some further deterioration has oc-
curred in crops in northeastern Sas-
katchewan as a result of continued
dry weather while in the northwest-
ern corner, recent rains have stimu-
lated late crops and improved feed
prospects. At best, wheat yields in
the province will be low with a great
part of the acreage yielding nothing
but feed.

Crops are maturing rapidly in Al-
berta where July rains replenished
failing moisture reserves and gave
new life to crops which showed little
promise beforehand. While yields
will be below average, fairly good
commercial crops are in prospect
over much of the province.

Hail has caused losses at a num-
ber of points in the three provinces
and while serious in localized areas,
the damage on the whole has not
been unduly heavy. Grasshoppers,
army worms and wheat stem saw-
flies have all taken toll of crops with
a possibility of the latter doing con-
siderable damage in southern and
east-central Alberta.

With harvesting fairly general
throughout the province, Manitoba
crops will soon be beyond danger of
further menace from rust, insect
pests, or inclement weather condi-
tions.

TROUBLES AFFECT
STEEL WORKERS

Montreal.—As violence flared again
in Quebec’s six-city textile strike,
labor trouble sent more than 1,000
men on a walkout in another of the
province’s industries—the steel plants
of Sorel,

The steel workers, an estimated
1,200 members of the National Cath-
olic Syndicate of Steel Workers, sud-
denly left their work benches in five
Sorel plants at the call of union
officers who travelled from mill to
mill with news of the strike.

A union official said the steel
strike had been called because of
dissatisfaction with wage schedules
fixed recently by the board of arbi-
tration.

It was the third strike in scarcely
more than two months. the pre-
vious two, involving 800 in four
of the plants, the union fought for
and gained recognition and the right
to arbitration over wage questions.

The Sorel walkout was quiet. The
day’s disturbance on the Quebec
labor front broke at Drummondville,
where a crowd of textile. strikers
stoned H. F. Nicholson, Dominion
Textile Company’s mill manager
there, and dragged him from his car
to be searched for weapons as _ he
was driving out of the strikebound
plant.

Thought cut by flying glass from
the smashed windshield of his auto-
mobile, Nicholson was not seriously
hurt. He was released after being
searched. *

In Montreal, 20 policemen stood
guard at Dominion Textile’s Notre
Dame street warehouse while 125,-
000 pounds of finished goods were
taken out for delivery, but the strik-
ers made no attempt to interfere
with the operation. An escort of two
motorcycle policemen travelled with
each truck to and from the ware-
house.

The Montreal textile strikers, part
of close to 10,000 members of the
National Catholic Federation of Tex-
tile Workers blocked office workers
from entering the Montreal Hoche-
laga plant of the company for a time.
Federation President Albert Cote told
them to let the office men in, though,
and there was no trouble.

At other Montreal company offices,
the white-collar workers went to
their jobs without incident. Pickets
had been informed they were. going
in to make up payrolls for the last
week the strikers worked.

A Story of the Irish on the
Canadian Countryside

By PATRICK SLATER

By arrangement with Thomas
Allen, Publisher, Toronto.

CHAPTER IX.—Continued

“Oh, it means,” said I, “they think
all us Catholics should be hanged.
The ladder is the step up to a gal-
lows, and the rope has a noose at
the end of it.”

The child felt quite distressed. We
both knéw all about the hanging
business.

“But what have you dpne wrong,
Paddy ?’’ she asked me.

“Oh, don’t worry,” said I, “we're
all poor miserable sinners.”

“Well, Paddy,’ she advised me, “I
do wish you would get converted,
and be saved, and join our church.”

“Have you been converted your-
self?’ I asked her.

“No,” she told me, “I have tried
and tried, Paddy—but it won’t take!”

“Sure,” I said, “I know you are no
converted, or you wouldn’t be’ pinch-
ing peppermint drops on your Aunt
Letitia.” « -

“But you won't tell?”

“No,” said I, ‘“mum’s the word!”

Another visitor we had shortly
afterward was a stylish young belle
from Markham Township, On the
first Sunday afternoon after her
arrival, three young gentlemen of
the neighborhood strolled up separ-
ately to the Marshall house. Curi-
ously enough, they had all suddenly
been struck with the notion, at
church that’ morning, of seeing how
our crops were getting along. They
were all invited in, of course, and in-
troduced to Miss Matilda Lea. Why
is it, I wonder, that a self-conscious
young lady, on such an occasion,
gives vent to so much girlish laugh-
ter—unless it be to show her teeth?
The gathering became quite dull and
formal, as might be expected.

The guinea hens, those noisy har-
bingers of company coming, set up
their infernal, peevish chatter of
“buck wheat! buck wheat!”

Betty went to the door to look out,

“Here,” she exclaimed, turning to
address the company, “is Johnson
Potter up the lane. I suppose he is
coming, too, to see how our crops
are!”

I mention such trifling things as
the visit of this marriagable girl to
the Mono farm because the only
theme I have in this simple narrative
is the homely and commonplace in
the lives of pioneer Irish folk on the
Ontario countryside. And a poor job
it is! If I were able, I would make
it as clear cut as the toll of their
dinner bell, and as transparent as a
sheet of polished glass. They are
all dead and forgotten; but such sim-
ple, natural, wholesome lives make
the history of the country where
their bodies lie, God bless them!
They are all off on the way of truth
now. .

By his more aggressive tactics,
Potter won out in that afternoon
contest, He got his spoke in first;
and, yes, Miss Matilda would be
charmed to go for a buggy ride with

yay, °

as sam eta

athlete's foot, bl
Other skin afhictions

Mr. Potter the very next evening—
d.v. as to the weather. The result, in
brief, was that Potter not only had a
good many meals at the Marshall
table, where he proved a capital
trencherman, but he got a wife who
made good meals ready for him for
the rest of his life. f

Young Betty was simply fascinat-
ed with Miss Matilda's charming
ways. Straightaway the child was
primping about with her head tilted
to one side. She was giggling jnces-
santly without any apparent cause,
and showing her teeth. The young-
ster was actually drifting around in
a@ day dream; and her dream, of
course, was that she was the beauti-
ful Miss Matilda Lea. When I
noticed the young actress was get-
ting picky and fastidious about her
victuals, I made it my business to
open my mind to her on the side.

“Cut it out, Betty,” I told her,
“we all know you have a stomach!”

“Well,” she said, ‘Matilda doesn’t
eat much.”

“No,” I replied, “not while Potter
is around; but did you ever notice
how she gorges herself in the back-
kitchen?”

Next spring’s . plowing time, the

yellow, wide-boarded floor of the kit-
chen became Betty’s constant care.
At all hours, I would find the skinny
youngster on her knees, scrubbing
the great expanse and giving it the
dickens. And she was strongly of
the opinion, seemingly, that it was
my dirty boots that made most of
this scrubbing necessary. For some
unaccountable. reason, she did not
notice the tracks Bob and the chil-
dren made, or the mud her father
and the other men trailed about as
they shuffled across the floor for
their meals. But if she spied any
dirt on my boots, there was a riot
immediately.

“Just look at the dirt on Paddy’s
feet, Ma!’ she would exclaim in des-
pair, as she brushed a wisp of stray
hair back into place from her sweaty
forehead. ‘Do I have to scrub this
floor again for that dirty clodhop-
‘per?”

“Please pass me a bite to. eat in
the shed,” I would say to Mrs. Mar-
shall, “It is better to dwell in the
corner of the housetop than with a
brawling woman in a wide house!”
* “But he doesn’t seem to care, Ma,
how much work he makes me!”

And she had the pinch of the argu-
ment on me; because from the time
she was seven, Betty had always
darned my socks for me, and seen to
ft that they patched up my elothes
and kept my things shipshape.

“Well; Betty,” I said to her at last,
“you’d better make me carpet slip-
pers; and, by the grace of God, I'll
never touch your dirty old floor with-
out them,”

And the result was she made me
an awkward-looking pair, which
caused a lot of hilarity in the house-
hold. And I kept my promise—but
only in muddy weather.

But the carpet slippers only served
to transfer the scene of hostilities
from the yellow floor to the bench
by the back kitchen door. All my
life long I have had trouble with my
feet in warm weather. So in the eve-
nings that summer, I made a prac-
tice of soaking them very carefully
and deliberately in a bucket of rain-
water and soft soap. And I found a
comfortable place to do this was by
the bench at the back kitchen door.
But young Betty was raising morn-
ing glories and wild cucumber vine
along the wall; and she complained
of the slop I made, and declared the
caustic in it hurted her flowers.
Where the hired man is to wash his
feet has always been one of the
weighty problems in Ontario agricul-
ture. Betty insisted that I do it else-
where. I held to the opinion my feet
should be washed close to the rain
barrel,

These great issues were joined and
went down to trial one summer's
evening. Betty's temper had got
quite the better of her and she was
tongue-thrashing me in an out-
rageous manner, I slushed the soapy
water in her direction, which sent
her screaming round the corner of
the house. I put a dipper of fresh
water in my foot bath; and, as she
returned to the fray, I wiggled my
toes at her. She promptly let a

quit bothering Paddy;

attaining altitude

would he get back if he succéeded in
reaching our world’s never failing
satellite? He needs must have the
engine to send him sky-rocketing
back and he could hardly take it with
him. For ourselves though they in-
vent a super rocket and sults to navi-
gate’ the airless ether, it could never
tempt us to leave good old terra
firma.—Halifax Chronicle,

“Now, look what you've done!” I
declared. “You'd murder me, would
you, you little she-devil;” and I
tipped out the colored water to show
her the great quantity of blood I was
losing.

“Oh! Paddy,” the child exclaimed,
“I didn’t mean to hurt you so real
bad as that.”

“Well, look what you've done,’ I
warned her. ‘You've killed me en-
tirely.”’

And the next moment, I had a
curious mixture of tears, and tow-
head, and bleeding foot on’ my
hands. P

“Oh! Paddy, I’m very sorry,” the
youngster sobbed, “because I love
you so!”

“You show it, don’t you?” said I,
“murdering me in cold blood.”

“Oh! Paddy, dear,” she told me, “I
didn’t really mean to hurt you, be-
cause when I grow up, and have
long skirts, I’m going to-marry you,
Paddy, and have babies for you.”

“Oh, no, you’re not!” said I.

“Ladies with long skirts have
babies for their husbands,” she in-
formed me,

“Yes!” says I,
them,’

“Well,” she pondered, ‘‘couldn’t He
send me a nice red-headed one for
you, Paddy?”

“Well,” said I, with a mournful
sigh, “it’s a dead man I'll be by the
morning, Betty; and when you grow
up to be a big miss, it’s Peg-top
Carson youll have to be marrying.
Go, please,’ I asked her, “and get
your ma to give me a piece of white
rag.”

Sarah Duncan bandaged my foot
up in smart order.

“Paddy,” the young person remark-
ed, “you can wash your dirty old feet
here, if you want to.’'

“No, Betty,” said I, “to keep peace
in the family, I'll wash them over by
the well where the drinking water
comes from.”

And I heeled it upstairs to keep

Hours later, Betty called up to me:
“Yally, yally you who! Paddy, are
you all right?” “Fie

“Has it quit bleeding, Paddy?”

“but God sends

“Sure,” said I, “it’s caulked up as

tight as the: inside ofid boat.”

“Sleep tight,” she rhollered, “and
don’t let the bugs bite!’

The morning after, Betty was not
even ‘enough interested in the over-
night occurrence to ask me how my
foot was doing; and henceforward,
she treated me with an indifferent
civility that gave no occasion for
quarrels and scoldings. I was left
to shift strictly for myself in the
matter of keepng holes out of my
socks and losing my mitts in winter
time. A lad of the hobbledehoy age is
usually sensitive; and my feelings
were deeply hurt by this turn of
events. I suppose the child had been
given a good scolding after the cut-
ting of my foot, and strict orders to

Betty may have felt a grudge

against me because of her troubles.

At the time, however, I knew I had

done nothing to offend the child, and
I thought she was following family

instructions to put a no-account fel-

low like me in his proper place. Yet,

I didn’t let on.

This means an aggregate increase, but we all have a responsibility to

$800,000.

Public schools will benefit to the
extent of 50c per day per room, A
one-room rural school, which last
year received a government grant of:
$1 per day for 200 days—$200 a
year—will now receive $1.50 per day |
for 200 days—$300 a year—an in-
crease of 50 per cent. A two-room
school will, of course, receive double
this amount.

High schools and_ continuation
schools, under the new schedule, will
benefit to the extent of $100 per year
per room,

The legislature also appropriated
$200,000 for loans to school districts |
for the purpose of reducing the
arrears of teachers’ salaries incurred
prior to January 1, 1935.

“Ever since the present govern-

the future citizens of the Province

Separate bank account and will be

may feel certain that the amount
paid will be used and used only for
that purpose.

“Insofar as relief recipients are
concerned, it will not be possible to
make provision for the tax to be

irrespective of what may otherwise
be done in connection with relief in-

school grants to the figure they were
prior to 1932.” He also adds that,
because of continued crop failures)
and the consequent increased finan-
cial burden upon the government, it
became impossible to make any in-
creases. The Legislature, however,
at the last session decided that “the
needs of education warranted the im-
position of a new tax, earmarked for
educational purposes.” This provided
the opportunity for the government
to increase the grants as stated.

“The entire proceeds. of this tax

by local taxes levied against real
estate supplemented by government
grants. Ever since the present gov-
ernment took office it has had as one
of its first objectives the restoration
of school grants to the figure they|
were prior to 1932. This would en-
able schools to remain open in the
crop failure districts where tax col-
lections are almost nil and would
permit of a general reduction in local
tax levies for school purposes. With
continued crop failures the finances
of the province would not permit any
increase of school grants and at the
last session of the Legislature it was
decided that the needs of education
warranted the imposition of a new
tax, earmarked for educational ser-
vices, which would provide funds for
increased grants. At the session the
School Grants Act was amended in-
creasing school grants as from July
1st and The Education Tax Act was

to come into force on pro-
clamation, This provision was in-
cluded in the act to give the Gov-
ernment an opportunity of making a
full study of administration ‘methods
and to set up the necessary machin-
ery for the collection of the tax with
the minimum of difficulty.

“Since the close of the session an
exhaustive study has been made of
the operation of a similar tax in the
Province of Alberta and a number
of the states of the Union, the ad-
ministrative methods followed in
these places have been analyzed and
from the information thus secured
regulations have been drafted and
the organization for the operation of
the act has been decided upon. It
should be remembered that the ——
islature passed the act to come ini
